Coaches
We use volunteer coaches for all our sports. Most of our volunteers are parents, siblings or people willing to spend a small amount of time and get a huge reward. In order to coach, one must minimally be level I certified. This usually takes less than an hour and can be administered by several of our group. Level II certification is the next level and requires a commitment of one day to attend a sports specific certification program. Special Olympics has specific requirement for Coach to Athlete ratios. The RAVE is growing and we are always looking for coaches. If you are interested in coaching, please contact any of the LSMT team or e-mail us .
